24/7 Emergency Cover
Emergency Plumber in Peterborough
Burst pipes, no heating, flooding, boiler breakdowns. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are on call around the clock — call us now for a fast response.
Emergency Situations We Cover
We respond to all genuine plumbing and heating emergencies across Peterborough — day, night, weekends, and bank holidays.
Burst or Leaking Pipe
Shut off the mains stopcock immediately and call us. We'll arrive, locate the split, and make a permanent repair.
No Heating or Hot Water
Boiler breakdown in winter is a genuine emergency, especially for families with young children or elderly residents. We carry common parts on the van.
Blocked or Overflowing Drains
Sewage backing up into the property is a health hazard. We clear blockages using professional jetting equipment.
Flooding from Appliance
Washing machine, dishwasher, or tank overflow causing flooding. We isolate the source and carry out emergency repairs.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes can burst as they thaw. We locate and thaw frozen sections safely and inspect for splits.
Boiler Lockout or Error
If your boiler has locked out and you can't reset it, we diagnose and repair the underlying fault — same day in most cases.
What to Do Before We Arrive
Turn Off the Mains Water
The stopcock is usually under the kitchen sink or in a downstairs toilet. Turn it clockwise until it stops. This prevents further flooding while you wait for us.
Turn Off the Heating
Switch off your boiler and central heating at the programmer or thermostat to prevent hot water circulating near any burst pipework.
Open Taps to Drain Pressure
Open all cold taps to drain remaining water from the pipes quickly. Flush toilets to empty cisterns.
Contain the Water
Use towels, buckets, and bowls to limit spread. Move valuables and electronics. If water reaches electrical fittings, turn off your mains electricity at the consumer unit.
Photograph the Damage
Take photos before cleaning up — this is important evidence for your home insurance claim.

Emergency Plumber FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Peterborough?
We aim to respond within 1–2 hours for genuine emergencies across the Peterborough area. Response times may be longer during periods of very high demand (e.g. widespread freezing weather). Call us directly for an accurate ETA.
Do you charge extra for emergency call-outs?
Yes — out-of-hours and emergency call-outs attract a call-out fee from £99. We'll confirm the total cost (call-out plus hourly rate) before attending so there are no surprises.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?
Turn off the mains water stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink). Turn off the heating. Open taps to drain residual pressure. Move valuables away from water and take photos of any damage for insurance purposes.
Do you cover out-of-hours and weekend emergencies?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency cover across Peterborough and surrounding areas, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.
Is there anything I can fix myself before you arrive?
The most important thing is to turn off the water stopcock. Beyond that, contain any water with towels and buckets. Do not attempt to repair gas appliances or gas pipework yourself — always wait for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
